if it's this hard...
People always talk about how difficult marriage is. Especially how money destroys you. Little quirks of habit, too.
My parents always seemed to live together pretty peaceably, to my knowledge; the openly warring couples I saw in movies and occasionally with my friends seemed unbelieveable, somehow. Marriage really can't be that hard. Hah.
Why am I talking about this? Well... this roommate thing isn't exactly as simple as I thought it would be. If just sharing a room with another girl can be this taxing, befuddling and frustrating, how much worse could it be with a spouse, with whom you share so immeasurably more? I'd be devastated.
To all of you who have successful marriages, I applaud you.
